Chapter 5 Season 1 of Fortnite is about to end, and its players have been caught in a heated debate about what might be the 'worst' weapon ever to be in play during this season. The dispute became a point of contention, stirring up differing opinions among the game's vast community of players.
An upgrade to Fortnite took place with Chapter 5 Season 1 following a very fruitful Season OG. This brought a fresh perspective to the Battle Royale game as it breathed new life into the gameplay. Like always, Fortnite threw in something novel in each season, whether it was new weapons or items, maintaining its reputation for consistent innovation.
As we welcome Chapter 5 Season 2, the contestation over the worst weapons in Fortnite's latest season intensifies, presenting an array of responses from the game's varied player communities.
The Diverse Views on Fortnite's Worst Weapons in Chapter 5 Season 1
In the lively discussion of this subject, one player described the Hyper SMG as the worst weapon of Chapter 5 Season 1, completely ignoring the Anvil Launcher by placing it in the list's infamous position- 'so bad'.
Interactive exchanges ensued, with the community sharing their experiences and encounters with weapons that had proven to be unworthy of time spent during the current season.
The discourse found a place on social media platforms instigating a comprehensive debate on the subject, surfacing a spectrum of views from the gaming community.
A player claimed the Pump Shotgun to be 'incredibly bad', emphasizing its slow fire rate. With the shock shield in Zero Build, the time to kill seemed too lengthy unless you were lucky enough to land two full headshots.
Hilarious Takes and Mixed Reviews on Fortnite Weapons
Some players, with a sense of humor, compared the Hammer Pump's shooting speed to the duration of a movie, jesting that they had even graduated from medical school between shots on other occasions. One player pinpointed the main issue with the Hammer Pump to be its slow cycling speed.
The Pump Shotgun, however, received universal dislike. The Enforcer, on the other hand, fetched mixed reviews from the players. A participant noted, 'Folks saying the Enforcer here I just don't get it. It’s a solid gun if you use it as intended. If you’re trying to use it like a Striker then you’re doing it wrong.'
The Enforcer AR did not garner the same appreciation from another player who criticized it for being less useful at its designated purpose when compared to the hit scan. The player professed a preference for a sniper for the said range, attributing more damage to a single shot.
As Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 is nearing its conclusion, the gaming community's parting gift appears to be this enriching debate on the worst weapon of the season. This, of course, is one of the many aspects that makes the Fortnite gaming community so dynamic and vibrant. Whether this debate will impact the weapons' line-up in Chapter 5 Season 2 is something we will wait and watch.
